But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."--Luke 9:62
America finds itself in a state of peril perhaps greater than any other in its history! The enemy is insidious and relentless, and threatens our very future as a Nation because it lurks from within. We have watched in horror as it has infiltrated and corrupted one defining institution after another like a malignancy, supplanting integrity and decency with lies and manipulations. Yet its most pernicious attack is only beginning now. Unless it is fully exposed, fully understood, and properly confronted, it may prevail where all of the others have failed.
The goal in war is rarely to completely annihilate the opponent. Rather, it is to convince that opponent to stop fighting and that further resistance is futile. So any grounds on which that end can be achieved amounts to victory for the aggressor. In the current age, a very appealing psyop is being leveraged to accomplish just that!
Americans who have been at all engaged in the happenings across the Country are understandably weary of so much rampant evil, expressed with such vitriol and discord by Counterculture activists, and vigorously combated by those who seek to drive back its malignant tide.
People long for those bygone years of seeming peace and serenity, when differences of opinion could be aired amicably, since both parties ultimately sought to do what was in the best interests of all involved. Now, there is much talk of simply "getting off this train," as the sheer ugliness of so many of the daily events depress and psychologically overwhelm even the casual observer.
However, all of this belies the "big picture" of the situation in which we currently find ourselves. From the Epstein Files to the madness in Minneapolis, the rampant evil of the leftist Counterculture is being unmasked as never before. Consequently, its key players increasingly find themselves in an indefensible position. So it is absolutely essential for them to change the subject. This is a ploy by which they have enjoyed great success in the past.
Leftists have had decades to perfect their dark "art" of creating phony moral equivalencies. It is by this means that they assert validity for their evil ideas and actions, heralding them to be legitimate counterparts to what they decry as equally evil concepts and principles from the Right.
So leftist efforts to destroy the Nation's borders are not bad, but merely the "balanced" response to Conservative efforts to secure the borders and maintain National sovereignty. Leftist judicial activism is not back door lawlessness or encroaching autocracy as Conservatives warn, but merely their mirror image to the need for devotion to original intent of the Founders, as asserted by the Right.
In consideration of leftist dirty deeds and their shameless sanctimony, the pattern becomes obvious. It is simple, flagrantly hypocritical, and yet dangerously seductive to battle weary Conservatives. When leftists are in control, they wield power with an unrestrained iron fist, "fundamentally transforming" the Nation according to their contemptible agenda with no restraint.
Any opposition is condemned with the most strident accusations of "hyperpartisanship" and "fanning flames of discord," followed by demands that our side totally capitulate in order to "end the rancor" and "soften the tone," as their onslaught advances for the supposed "greater good."
However, the moment leftists find themselves on the losing end, they maximize the chaos and acrimony, shamelessly pointing fingers of blame at the Right for all the disharmony. Any efforts to point out their duplicity, given past professions of desiring collegiality, result in allegations that the guilt lies with "both sides." In this manner, they seek to claw their way onto their phony "moral high ground," immediately followed by demands of contrition and penitence from the right.
Amazingly, despite this pattern of duplicity being so glaringly obvious, their scheme all too often works!
Christians and Conservatives are inherently prone to being introspective. So any prospect of wrongdoing immediately results in soul searching and consideration that perhaps it is indeed a "both sides" problem, and that there might be a better path forward. At that point, the left has essentially won!
Theirs is not a sincere effort to elevate the terms of the debate. Leftists fully intend to continue their deconstruction of America by any evil means, while always ready to point out the slightest infraction from Conservatives, whether real or contrived, as complete justification for their unrestrained assault. Of course such selective "moralizing" (better known as hypocrisy) is endemic to the left and how it operates. Yet it is the willingness of those on the right to accept such skewed reasoning, or to "agree to disagree" while remaining passive, that yields the greatest advantage to the left.
This manipulation needs to be fully exposed and soundly rebuffed! This is not a "both sides have their flaws" situation. Whether it results from confusion or fatigue, passivity in the face of evil is complicity with it. The time to stand, firm and resolute, is now!
